: I'm 31and am just now learning of the driving possibilities in for someone with 20/200 vision. With correction I can get 20/100 in the RE. With the BiOptic I could get what I need to obtain a lisence. However, the BiOptic is not allowed in testing her in OK. Has anyone lobbied for this? THe other system with contacts doesn't get me to the point where I would need to be. Also I've read that you can get a restricted lisence here with 20/100.

Anyone from OK know anything about this? I've waited a long time and never thought this dream could be reality. Just wondered if anyone can help. Thanks.


Hi Mandy,

I have assisted a number of individuals from various States over the past 10 years in getting legislation passed or modified to expand visual standards, including the use of BiOptic telescopic lens systems.

At your convenience, please forward a standard mailing address and I will forward some appropriate written materials to you that will assist you in your approach and dealings with legislators in your respective State.


Cordially,
